RENEW conf. this Friday!
Can't wait for RENEW this weekend at the College Church in Fresno. We'll be exploring interesting and challenging questions this weekend as we seek to live out the mission of Jesus Christ in various contexts.
We've drastically swung the pendulum of church confidence in the last couple decades. We moved away from believing that we were the only church that had the right answers to where now many of our churches wonder if we have anything to offer at all. Both ends of the spectrum are obviously problematic.
This weekend, we'll be relying on Doug Foster, Lee Camp and others to help us see that we have something valuable right under our feet. Yes, our churches have weaknesses. But name one that doesn't. We also have incredible strengths and a rich heritage upon which we can lean.
As Stan Hauerwas and Will Willimon say in a follow-up article to their book, Resident Aliens, “Christians are sitting on a gold mine called the church, but unfortunately the very categories we have been taught as Western Christians make it difficult for us to notice that it is gold.”
Join us this weekend as we learn to appreciate the "gold" upon which we sit -- and learn how to begin to use it to bring glory to God and bless the world around us.
